Content Warning This story contains sensitive topics and explicit scenes from Chapter 9 onward. Please read with care. ⚠️ Romance with explicit content - Chapters 9, 10, and 12 (Mira & Vessel). Disclaimer This is a fictional story inspired by the aesthetic and concept of Sleep Token. It has no connection to the real people behind the masks. Names, traits, and events are made up. Please respect the band members' privacy. This is a work of imagination - not a portrayal of real lives. Note on Language Originally written in German. Mira's inner voice reflects that. Dialogues with the band are in English. While this version is fully translated, I hope the original tone and emotional atmosphere remain intact. "The Shadow We Worship" A Sleep Token Fanfiction A fleeting livestream. A strange message. And an encounter with a masked stranger that changes everything. Mira leads a quiet life - caught between art school, her sketchbook, and the noise of the big city. Until one day, a mysterious stranger reaches out to her. He wears a mask. He reveals almost nothing about himself. And yet something about him pulls her in. It begins with a mask she designs for him - and ends in a storm of intimacy, obsession, longing, and something greater than both of them: a supernatural presence that has been watching her all along. Caught between reality and delirium, between desire and danger, Mira is drawn into a world where art is sacred, love demands sacrifice - and shadows speak. A story about control and surrender. About two people who recognize each other long before they meet. And about the darkness that shapes us - if we let it.

"I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. But I am your servant. When you starve I will feed you; when you are sick I will tend to you.

Viktor x Reader One Shots from the Netflix series Arcane Female! and gn! reader There will be NSFW +18, you don't like it? Please skip it. You'll also find fluff and angsty one-shots. Hope you enjoy it! Beautiful cover by @fuckudelilah

[Arcane Viktor x femReader][NSFW] Reader works at the Architecture and Urban Planning department at the Piltover Academy in the underfunded and practically abandoned Undercity Development Section. Her life study revolves around charting out areas, collecting data (societal and political), and coming up with ways to improve the undercitizens quality of life. She has a whole thesis planned out (that keeps getting updated as years go by according to the changes in the Lanes) on how to improve infrastructure in the Undercity.Unfortunately, there's little interest in funding your work as the patrons of Piltover prefer focusing on projects that benefit the Topside. Her Department is practically unknown by most people at the Academy - even your office stands on an almost forgotten wing. fe One day, Professor Heimerdinger send both Jayce and Viktor fetch some files at her office.

Viktor (Arcane) x Male Reader [18+] Starts cozy, will get darker and have NSFW chapters later on as this is a bit of a slow burn. Story takes place in Zaun a couple years before Viktor is accepted into the Academy in Piltover. After your parents are killed in a raid by the enforcers, you make your living by working as a barista and bartender along with some shady side hustles as Vander starts to prepare for an uprising. Viktor enters your chaotic life with a calm confidence that you're immediately drawn to. You find yourself spending more and more time with him as he preps for his admission into the Academy, but when the time comes to join the rebellion, your life takes an unexpected turn that neither of you are prepared for. About the Reader [Y/n] - He/him pronouns, bi, vers, witty, and still figuring life out even though he had to grow up relatively quickly. Only physical features mentioned is you have muscles and are a smidge shorter than Viktor (newbie mistake, but you're like 18 when it's mentioned you can still grow and be taller, do it :)) [Y/n] also has a backstory/depth/history that impacts your interactions with Viktor as well as other characters. There's some OC tendencies in there, but this is in 2nd person POV so I'm not sure what to call it but just want to be transparent there. Also there's more warnings than this but this is an explicit fic. There's drinking, smoking, sex, sex work, killing, all that good stuff so if that's not your bag you won't like this one.

TW: Mention and use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs, profanities, sex and sexual abuse in later chapters PG:16 PG18 chapters: Chapter 48 As the last flicker of hope for Vilons family name, you have spent your whole life trying to be the best of the best. When you get to the Academy with one of the highest scores in history, it feels like it's only a matter of time before you do something ground breaking. How surprised you are when a simple Zaunite cripple claims the spot as Heimerdingers assistant, a spot that you had your eye on as well. Is your ambition worth sacrificing over some boy?
